Flow units in SWAT OUTPUT

[Sujeet Desai]

Dear SWAT CUP users,

                                    I have run SWAT successfully and now i want to use SWAT-CUP. The units of all the parameters in the output file is in mm. I want to calibrate for flow but my observed flow data unit is in m3/sec.Whether the SWAT CUP changes the units of SWAT output from mm to m3/sec or we need to convert our observed flow data to 'mm' before adding it to SWAT-CUP. Also is it possible to  change the output units in SWAT. I am really very confused with this, could anyone help me please.

how come your units are in mm?! The Flow_out output in RCH is always in m3/s.

Neda,

         Thank you very much. Actually i was going through the different output std file after running SWAT where unit of the parameters are given in mm. So, when we load the TextInout file of our project in SWAT CUP then by default the simulated flow units are in m3/sec.

In SWATCUP, you will extract simulated Flow_out from RCH output. There you have units in m3/s.

Good luck
